The Organised Labour has rejected President Bola Tinubu's claims that an agreement had been reached on new national minimum wages in his nationwide broadcast to mark Democracy Day.

This comes after labour unions suspended a strike aimed at pressuring the government to increase the monthly minimum wage. The government has offered to double the minimum wage to U.S.$41 a month, against labour's demands for U.S.$168. Tinubu said that his government had negotiated in good faith.
